What is a NOC?
• No Objection Certificate (NOC) is a legal document, issued by an organization, institute, or an
individual to say that they have no objection to the mentioned details in the document.

• It can be used for employment, trade, litigation, immigration, and many other purposes to nullify any
objection by the party concerned in the process.

• For example: person buying a vehicle which is registered in a different state, say in Maharashtra, to be
used in a different state, say in Karnataka. In this case, the seller of the vehicle must get a NOC from
the Maharashtra Regional Transportation Officer (RTO) and issue the same to the buyer of the
vehicle in Karnataka. This type of NOC states that the said vehicle has no prior traffic offences
against it in Maharashtra. It also states if there is a hypothecation against the vehicle in Maharashtra,
or not. The buyer of the vehicle must show this document at the time of re-registering the vehicle in
Karnataka. A NOC is an essential legal document that is a vital bank process, immigration, vehicle and
house registration, and in employment scenarios. The standard NOC format can be used for all
purposes. You can download a sample NOC format here.
